Speed Queen Dryer Drama

Here is what happens in this SQ every couple years- the grate starts to discolor, then the metal literally starts to deteriorate. I took a few pics of the vent run. A few too many turns, for a total of about 10 feet. All clean with no blocked vent cap.

John, I have no idea what the voltage is coming out of the wall or how to test it. What a nice little pair this is, despite the grate issue.

Your vent is definitely the problem. That should have been rigid pipe all the way out. That would be against building code here.

Voltage is checked at the receptacle with a multimeter.
